Am I an Alien?

We belong to Him. Where you hang your hat really doesn't matter.

This passage came to mind:

Heb 11:8-10 By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs of the same promise; for he was looking for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

We walk in this life by faith awaiting His good timing to bring us home.

Honestly the phrase keep moving forwards has helped me so many times in my walk, so many times I would mess up and the enemy would fill my head with doubt and make me see myself as a failure and a worthless sinner but when I begin to to tell myself to just keep moving forwards it's as if clarity begins to form.

Many times we feel we are nothing more than visitors tot his age with our true home elsewhere, the Kingdom that is. This is the sensation all-who love Jesus experience, especially when contemplating unbelievers and their values sited only on the material.....

I have always heard of people saying this is not our home and how we are aliens but I never really understood it until the last year or so and especially today. I was looking at the storm clouds in the sky because the way the light looks with them just reminds me of him plus there was thunder which also reminds me of him and I was talking to him saying how everything in this world even my greatest pleasures are trash to me compared to him, I told him how I badly I need to be with him because I feel like im in another existence that isn't even real, trapped and walking through it unable to escape it to my home no matter how far I walk. I referenced the matrix to him you know the whole red and blue pill thing.

It just seems the closer and closer we get to him the more we feel like we don't belong

No matter how much we hate this world, we should remember that HE created it.

You must be doing something right. You start to wonder if you are going in the right direction. You are. God has to turn us from the world. To renew our mind. And it hurts sometimes, and it feels like you are being beaten up. And you feel alone. You may be going through a pruning. Sometimes he cut you back, so that you will have more spiritual growth. Then your understanding of things change. Don't let anyone try to make you think that you are crazy, because they will. I hope you understand what I am saying. If not I have misunderstood you.

Wow that is incredibly insightful your words were very helpful to me more than you know I do feel alone a lot of times even though I am surrounded by people who care about me and love me and I thought honestly I was just being ungrateful and taking them for granted and that made me feel so bad but now it actually makes sense why I feel like this because while I have them no one cares about God like I do and only a few even call themselves Christian. And I know of the hurt as well not so much from criticism because I don't tend to throw pearls to the swine mainly because no one ever listens to me or takes what I say seriously and they tried putting me on medication once when I needed help with understanding the dreams and visions I had.

No, the pain I feel is a very deep aching kind, the kind where you love someone and need someone and have to be with them so badly that it kills you inside every day you are apart physically like a loving wife whose dear husband is away at war and hasn't been home in years and no letters for months on end. I had a dream last night where there was me and him and we were so close yet so far there was a very very thin barrier of some kind between us and we both had our hands together on that barrier so close yet not physically together.

Some people on this forum will get mad at me for saying this, but if you are going to church, there is your block.
